Tiny but exquisite, this little bust was found in a carver's workshop in ancient Egypt.  I was taken by the beauty of the face....even if she did have an odd bean-like shaped head.  This is day 3 - of 42 sketches toward a permanent sketching habit!

Today I was lucky (one could say fortunate) enough to get another opportunity to seem some amazing items from Egypt.  Touted as treasures from King Tut, the exhibit at the Pacific Science Center had many other things from the Egyptian museum.  I've been there, and it is, in the very least, overwhelming.  Nothing of the display expertise that the Science Center put forth.  Lighting, display cases, explanations of what was on view... really beautiful!

So, keeping my resolution....of sketching every day with my 42 Sketches Group over on Facebook (or trying to), I am posting one of my little ditties.  Might post more at a later date...perhaps after fiddling with them a bit.  Until then....here is a Head of Amenhotep III in the Blue Crown of War, from Karnak, Temple of Amun.  What are you sketching?

All-righty....resolutions, New Year, and all those good things....it is said 6 weeks is what it takes to form a habit.  I would like to say I already have a habit of sketching, but in all honesty, I do find many other things to fill my time while putting that particular thing on hold. So....to start this all up again, here is the first of many (hopefully)  sketches, to form that habit again.  Would you like to join me in this?  Come on.....42 sketches (six weeks) to form that lovely habit again in your life.  Let's do this!
